Targets for Today: I can read for enjoyment, and increase my reading stamina. I can read fluently -- smoothly and correctly and clearly. After I read for learning, I can reduce the information to the most important facts and ideas.

Today’s  Agenda: 1. Individual and Quiet Reading Time     and fill out your reading log. 2. Partner fluency practice with a new passage         and record on your graph, especially the top three cells for each time you read.  What during reading strategy is this little boy using? 3. .  Add to your BICUM Brochure -- Inside Right Section: Add this today!   Inside    (Added earlier) Before Reading Complete a Self Check  Study Area  Emotions Level of  Difficulty Feeling physically  Preview 1.

After Reading -- #1 REDUCE Post View Ask yourself -- *What did I learn from  reading this? *What patterns/overall structure did I notice? *What was the overall central idea? *Do I understand it all? If not, use fix-up strategies. Answer Questions Organize for  Recall (Select and Do 1) -- make outlines -- take notes -- write summaries -- create maps Patterns and Text Structures  Puzzles Seeing what's there Types of Text Patterns/Structures       activity Text Structures (Internal)  Internal Text Structure is like the basic building that is constructed for its particular use. A mall will be different from a school or a church or a home. Some texts are compare and contrast, some are sequence, some are cause and effect, some are central idea and support, and so on.  Writing the text is like building the mall or the school or the home. Organize for  Recall (Select and Do 1)      -- make outlines       -- take notes  -- Ms. Fugal!        -- write summaries       -- create maps Outlines:  Maps:  See below. ⇊
